Based on the definition of genome, it is the entire set of DNA found within all the chromosomes an organism contains. The human genome is contained on 23 pairs of chromosomes, which code for about 25,000 genes.

Messenger RNA, or mRNA, is the RNA strand that is transcribed from the gene found on DNA. It is responsible for being read by a ribosome in order to create a protein.

Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) forms a structural component of the ribosomes. Transfer RNA (tRNA) carries amino acid residues and provides an anticodon to add the amino acids to the growing protein at the ribosome. Small nuclear RNA (snRNA) are found in the nucleus and help regulate transcription and maintain telomere length.

DNA helicase unwinds the double helix, separating the two strands so they may be replicated by DNA polymerase.

Primase adds an RNA primer to help initiate DNA replication. DNA ligase is responsible for joining Okazaki fragments on the lagging strand during replication.

As amino acids are added to a polypeptide during translation, tRNA molecules will enter the A site of the ribosome. The tRNA is then transferred to the P site, where a peptide bond is formed between the amino acid residue and the amino acid chain. Finally, the tRNA moves to the E site to release its tRNA and exit the ribosome.

Synteny is the conservation of order of genes. Being able to see conserved blocks in genes when comparing two chromosomes of the same species, it indicates that at some time in evolutionary history, these blocks originated from a hypothetical common ancestor. Genes that are highly conserved among species are usually vital to the organism's viability. For example, the genes required for glycolysis to occur are required in almost all organisms.
